Kissinger: The current leaders of European countries are incompetent and incapable of solving elementary problems

Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger (1973-1977) continues to express his position on world events and criticize contemporary European leaders. In his opinion, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz cannot be compared with the first head of the Federal Republic of Germany, Konrad Adenauer (1949-1963). And the head of France, Emmanuel Macron, loses in everything to the president of the Fifth Republic, Charles de Gaulle (1959-1969).

European politicians do not have guidelines and understanding of the tasks they face

- the ex-secretary of state stated the weakness of the leaders of the European Union in an interview with the agency Bloomberg.

By the way, during his almost century-old life, Kissinger personally knew all the leaders whose examples he cites in historical comparison.

Speaking about today's US foreign policy, Kissinger stressed that Washington's main task now is to prevent China or any other country from becoming a "world hegemon." At the same time, the politician believes, it will not be possible to achieve this through constant confrontation. And the current head of the White House should not let domestic politics interfere with "the importance of understanding China's permanence."

Recalling the now former American president, Kissinger emphasized that "Nixonian flexibility" is needed to defuse relations between the US and China, as well as between the EU and the Russian Federation. As you know, it was Richard Nixon (the 37th President of the United States) who in 1972, despite his anti-communist views, visited Beijing, where he met with Chinese President Mao Zedong. This event is considered historical turning point in relations between the two countries.

Earlier at the Davos Economic Forum, Kissinger expressed the opinion that in order to end the conflict in Ukraine as soon as possible, Kyiv needs to make territorial concessions to Moscow. For such a statement, the politician immediately got into the list of "enemies of Ukraine", posted on the extremist website "Peacemaker".

Curiously, Kissinger's opinion about the weakness of contemporary Western leaders is in complete agreement with Dmitry Medvedev's statement. Earlier, he called foreign leaders “political pygmies” on his Telegram channel, also citing their more independent and powerful predecessors as an example.

European politicians do not have guidelines and understanding of the tasks they face

So now all European politicians, proteges of the United States, are pursuing US policy in their countries. If there were people like Adenauer and De Gaulle, then there would be no crisis in Europe.

[Sergio_7]

The current geyropian politician, Konrad Adenauer and De Gaulle, is a little thin and small, it’s all in the past, geyroptsy are degenerates without exception!

[Evil 55]

Well, so .. Undereducated bachelors rule the world .. In vain, the Bologna system of education has been introduced. Not otherwise than to produce idiots incapable of creativity, but skilled consumers.

That's for sure .. there are no politicians left in Europe who care about their own state .. Merkel still balanced like that .. and the rest are Gauleiters .. And of course Kissinger is right ... only he is being disingenuous, in the sense that he criticizes only European leaders. But in fact, he is trying to shift responsibility from the US to Europe. Although the leaders of the Nazis are sitting in the USA ..

[parusnik]

Colleague, they didn’t notice that strong politicians built the European Union, even bullied, and then it went downhill .. “The drowned man mostly comes across small, frail. Obviously, it’s not the season.” (c)

De Gaulle could do what he thought useful for France. Not for NATO / USA - for France .....
And the current ones are even determined to bark in which direction. Otherwise, God forbid they make a mistake ...

This is first!
And, secondly, what and most importantly who sets these tasks and how?
The leaders themselves are only Bidon, Pelosi Harris, etc. rubbish too!
So there is nothing to blame on the mirror ...
Although they only cheer us up with their theater!

[hagen]

Quote: tihonmarine

So now all European politicians, proteges of the United States

Moreover, the United States deliberately builds the European politicians precisely from such unprepossessing people. In their opinion, and in fact, in fact, they are easier to manage. Only here it would be worth adding that the United States seeks to subdue Europe, solving internal problems created by US politicians. The circle is closed. Giving a low assessment to the leaders of Europe, Henry Kissinger modestly kept silent about the global problem within his country. The problem artificially created by him, in general, by his students, and on his advice. In addition to him and Medvedev, most likely, there are a lot of Western politicians who are able to see the above-mentioned defects in the modern political structure of the consolidated West. But one of their declared values ​​- freedom of speech, like all others, exists in the West only on paper. In fact, free-thinking is a reason to liquidate, sometimes in the physical sense, a candidate for the leader of public opinion. So, old Henry is trying to hang his joints on his entourage, trying to stay in "a white suit with clean hands."

[Sergio_7]

So the current leaders of Geyropa are students of the Soros Foundation and Atlantic views! the Americans themselves raised them and put them in power!
There can be no talk of any national idea - everything is for the good of America!

[Galleon]

It's not just a matter of the national idea - in Europe they believe that they have already outlived their national ideas and have come to the idea of ​​a supranational one - the point is, in principle, in the absence of a positive economic agenda, both in the United States and in this Europe. In China, it is very powerful, but in our country ... hardly.
And you can’t build your bright future on some dirty tricks and meanness ...

In Germany, Olaf Scholz cannot be compared with the first head of the Federal Republic of Germany, Konrad Adenauer (1949–1963). And the head of France, Emmanuel Macron, loses in everything to the president of the Fifth Republic, Charles de Gaulle (1959-1969).

They are not even a match for Kissinger, why compare them with mastodons?

[mitroha]

Alexander, you put the indications of the years of work somewhat incorrectly:

Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger (1973-1977)

More correctly: Former US Secretary of State (1973-1977) Henry Kissinger
Otherwise, it turns out that years refer to a person, and not to the time he took up a position

I will never forget his anecdote about shuttle diplomacy ..

Once Henry Kissinger was asked: - What is "shuttle diplomacy"? Kissinger replied, “Oh! This is the universal Jewish method! Let me explain with an example: You want to marry Rockefeller's daughter by shuttle diplomacy to a simple guy from a Russian village. - How? - Very simple. I'm going to a Russian village, I find a simple guy there and ask: - Do you want to marry an American Jewess? He told me: - Fuck?! We have plenty of girls of our own. I told him: Yes. But she is the daughter of a billionaire! It! This changes things... ... Then I go to Switzerland, to a meeting of the board of the bank and ask: - Do you want to have a Siberian peasant as president? “Ugh,” they tell me at the bank. - And if he, at the same time, will be Rockefeller's son-in-law? - O! This, of course, changes things! .. And yet, yes, I go home to Rockefeller and ask: - Do you want to have a Russian peasant as a son-in-law? He told me: - What are you talking about, in our family everyone is financiers! I told him: - And he, just - the president of the board of the Swiss Bank! It! This changes things! Suzy! Come here. Mr. Kissinger has found you a fiancé. It's the President of the Swiss Bank! Susie: - Fi... All these financiers are dead or f @ wild! And I told her: - Yes! But this one is a hefty Siberian man! She: - Oh-oh-oh! This changes things!

Earlier, he called foreign leaders “political pygmies” on his Telegram channel.

in this particular case

[parusnik]

In this particular case, and not only in this one, "epiphany" is confusing. I remember people whinnying on the forums and waiting for his term to end in order to be re-elected ... And now, they are already trudging along, in a positive sense. from his sayings and ready to carry on his hands. From a clown to a circus director, one step. Real clowns, do not be offended, not in your garden, stone.

[mitroha]

Quote: parusnik

.And now, already trudging, in a positive sense. from his statements and ready to carry

I think this is your subjective opinion, based on an unrepresentative sample. For the majority of the population in the Russian Federation does not care, and they do not follow his statements, and even more so they are not going to carry him in their arms.
Maybe this in turn is my mistake based on the same

[parusnik]

Oh, come on I remember, I remember with EBN .. when I made speeches that the majority liked, they almost carried them on their hands, and when they showed their true face, the majority sat down .. So it is with LADIES, when they forgot the nonsense, and now, oh, yes, they brand it .. and they are ready to forgive the former nonsense, our people are kind. I'm not going to agitate, you have your own head on your shoulders All the best

[Sergej1972]

A little flea-catching.) At the time of the meeting with Nixon, Mao was the Chairman of the CPC Central Committee, but not the Chairman of the PRC. Mao resigned this post in 1959 in favor of Liu Shaoqi. And when in the late 60s. Liu Shaoqi was persecuted by the Red Guards, and soon died, the post remained vacant from 1968 until 1975. There were two Vice Presidents of the PRC during this period who jointly performed his ceremonial functions. And in accordance with the Constitutions of the PRC of 1975 and 1979, the position of the Chairman of the PRC was abolished altogether, and his functions were transferred to the Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress. And only with the adoption of the Constitution of 1982, the post of Chairman of the PRC was restored.

It does not always grow, what was planted, grown ... it also happens. Especially in such an abundance of temptations, around and other mutagens!
But that’s what a smart gardener is for, in order to notice deviations and other bad trends in time, to swim out in time, or even to etch out the excess, unnecessary, dangerous !!!

Good morning
Somewhat wrong .... those who were seduced, these are just "correctly grown" dandelions, but those who LEAD, this is, just, thistles, mutants !!!

[Reptiloid]

Here after all that interestingly, Victor! If earlier everyone was babbling about this fairest and most humane market, now the sanctions are being put in their places --- there is no equal market. The beholder liked it - you trade. I didn’t like it --- figs will heal you and the beholder will heal money. As I read, the USSR was previously accused of being politicized. And there should be human values, art, sports --- outside of politics. (As they, capitalist countries, said and wrote. Or they also said that the USSR had the wrong socialism .....) Now they just showed that politics --- comes first

[rocket757]

Everything turned upside down in the Oblomovs' house!
There are no rules, laws, values ​​that politicians will not betray in order to achieve their goals!!! Rather, they will be ordered to betray those who are only interested in profit, the true masters of the Western world.

Actually, according to the remarks on the G7, when the main thing for them is to look cooler outwardly than Putin, remembering a photo with a naked torso on a horse almost 10 years ago, everything about these characters is clear.

For such a statement, the politician immediately got into the list of "enemies of Ukraine", posted on the extremist website "Peacemaker".

Ha ha ha ha .. Well damn give downs! Kissinger and the enemy of Ukraine..
Soros, let's also list your swollen ..
Laughed heartily!!!!!!
But the terry Politician and Russophobe is right !!!! There are no POLITICS in the West!
One riffraff with an incomprehensible orientation .. They always crow something, stupid statements, etc.

Curiously, Kissinger's opinion about the weakness of contemporary Western leaders is in complete agreement with Dmitry Medvedev's statement.

But Dimon was dragged here in vain ... Someone has recently been pushing him straight into the political ranks without soap. I don’t like all this!
He will surrender the country and everything that has been won and achieved ..

[SerAp]

The title is misleading. Kissinger did not say that "the leaders of European countries are incompetent and incapable of solving elementary problems." He said European leaders had lost "sense of direction and mission".

[Down]

I understood about the same, especially since he, first of all, addresses the ruling elite of the United States .. And he mentioned the Europeans in passing, reproaching that it is better to negotiate with Russia. He does not see from the last threat. And the real threat to them is China, and it is necessary to focus on it. And in the article, simply, the secondary was singled out. What for?

[Dva parovoza]

And Medvedev himself, when he was president, was, as it were, very different from those pygmies whom he himself designated?

[Nord11]

Well, where would they gain competence if the big guy from Washington decides everything for them?

[GNM]

And they are not left in the United States either, Kissinger is "the last of the Mohicans."

...As a realpolitik, Kissinger played a dominant role in US foreign policy from 1969-1977. He was the initiator and executor of the policy of détente in relations between the US and the Soviet Union, organized the beginning of US relations with China, and also concluded the Paris Peace Agreement, which was supposed to end the war in Vietnam...

He drew the attention of the local elite that small skirmishes with the aim of weakening are not very effective and suggested changing priorities, highlighting the main one - China. And Russia, after the change of system and ideology, he does not consider the principal enemy of the states. He offers both Europeans and his own to give Ukraine to Russia and thus close the issue with contradictions, along the way, he drew attention to the fact that the war between the US ruling elites on a party basis and numerous problems within the country should go by the wayside.
